Unreferenced date January 2011 Chabad Likkutei Sichos , lit. Collected Talks, lang he is an anthology of essays by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson , relating to the weekly portion of the Torah and special occasions in the Jewish and Hasidic Judaism Hasidic calendar. Likkutei Sichos contains both the scope and the core of the Lubavitcher Rebbe s teachings, and is the most authoritative source text for the Rebbe s unique, original, and often revolutionary explanation of Judaism. Rabbi Schneerson s primary vehicle for conveying his teachings were the farbrengen s held on Shabbat , the Jewish holiday festivals , special occasions and random weekdays, at which he would speak for many hours. These talks were transcribed and compiled in dozens of books that, together taken with his thousands of letters and maamarim Chasidus chassidic discourses , represent the legacy of the The Rebbe Rebbe s teachings to the world. Of the many of thousands of talks that Schneerson delivered, those that were the most basic to his weltanschauung and message were compiled in the Likkutei Sichot, which originally appeared in weekly pamphlets. He reviewed and extensively edited each of these transcriptions before it went to press, making the Likkutei Sichot the authoritative medium with which to disseminate his teachings. The thirty nine volumes of Likkutei Sichot are organized according to the weekly Torah reading Parshah and the Jewish calendar. The volumes of Likkutei Sichos are published by the Lubavitch Publication House Kehot Publication Society . The edited Sichos represent much of Schneerson s central teachings, and unique spiritual voice for the generation, with other major works being the deeper, mystical Maamarim Hasidic discourses , unedited talks, personal correspondence etc. The nature of his leadership and thought marks a culminating fulfillment of Hasidic history, representing the fullest measure of the Hasidic ideal to disseminate the wellsp ... more details
